Overview
Introducing the 2019 Aprilia RSV4 RF, a stunning embodiment of Italian engineering prowess and racing heritage. As one of the premier offerings in the sportbike category, the RSV4 RF is designed for those who crave the thrill of the track as much as they appreciate precision on the street. With its aggressive styling, advanced technology, and race-inspired performance, this machine is not just a motorcycle; it's a statement. Positioned at the high end of the sportbike market, the RSV4 RF draws on Aprilia's extensive racing pedigree, delivering a ride that is as exhilarating as it is refined.

This powertrain is designed to deliver a visceral riding experience, whether you’re carving through mountain roads or unleashing its full potential on the racetrack.

The result is a motorcycle that not only accelerates with ferocity but also provides the rider with confidence and control, no matter the conditions. The Aprilia RSV4 RF is packed with cutting-edge features that enhance both performance and comfort. The aluminum dual beam chassis, paired with Öhlins suspension components, offers exceptional handling and stability, ensuring that riders can push their limits without fear. The sophisticated braking system, featuring double disc front brakes and a single disc rear brake, provides unparalleled stopping power and control, complemented by ABS for added safety. Additional features such as a lightweight frame, adjustable seat height, and an electric starter make this bike not just race-ready but also practical for everyday use. With color options like the striking Surpole graphic and a solid 2-year unlimited-mileage warranty, the RSV4 RF is designed to turn heads both on and off the track. **
